Retirement Properties Spotlight in Godmanchester

Godmanchester lies about ten miles northwest of Cambridge on the south bank of the River Great Ouse below Huntingdon. The original settlement was at an important Roman crossroads providing a ford over the river. Today it is linked to Huntingdon by an early 14th century bridge and the famous Chinese bridge is originally thought to have been built without nails. Godmanchester's name possibly derives from 'buildings associated with a man called Godman'.
